The Hyborian Age	comment	The Hyborian Age is an essay written by Robert E. Howard in the 1930s, but not published in his lifetime. The essay tells how Atlantis rose and fell, giving rise to the Hyborian Age, and tells part of Conan’s and Kull's life up to the beginning of the period known as the Ancient Age.Howard's goal was to maintain the consistency of the fictional setting in which he was writing. The essay was published in book form and also by Marvel Comics in the magazines The Savage Sword of Conan and Conan Saga.

The Hyborian Age / int_1bb2c500	type	The Horde
The Hyborian Age / int_1bb2c500	comment	The Horde: A great icy climate that started in the north drove out the Cimmerians and the Nordheimersnote Aesirs and Vanirs, which devastated everything in its path, making the almost extinct Hyboria permanently dominated by them.

The Hyborian Age / int_3a2db192	type	The End of the Beginning
The Hyborian Age / int_3a2db192	comment	The End of the Beginning: The Hyborian Age comes to an end, ushering in the historical Age we know after the second cataclysm. Several nations of Hyboria sank, giving way to the seas we know, for example: the Mediterranean Sea, which was before Koth, Ophir, West of Shem and North of Stygia. The full-blooded Cimmerians gave rise to the Gaelic Celts, who became Irish and Highland Scotch. The full-blooded Vanirs gave rise to the first Danes peoples. The Full-blooded Aesir became Achaians, Gauls and Bretons. The Cimmerians and the Nordheimers who lived by the Vilayet Sea (now the Caspian Sea) had their blood mixed, giving rise to the Aryans. The Cimmerians and the Hyrkanians had their blood mixed, giving rise to the Scythians. The Picts involuted into a semi-prehistoric people and moved to Caledonia, with Bran Mak Morn as their last chieftain up to a certain point until they were conquered by the Celts and Romans. Vanirs adventurers went to Stygia and there, they freed slaves and became the first pharaohs, the Vanir and Stygian bloods mixed, giving birth to the first Egyptians. The Nemedians of the Irish legends were the Nemedian Aesir, who migrated to Ireland after the second cataclysm. The Hyrkanians, Picts and Stygians mingled and became the Ertruscans, who inhabit eastern Koth, the ancient Italian peninsula. The Sumerians were a mixture of Hyrkanians and Shemite bloods. The full-blooded Shemites would become the Arabs and Israelis. The Zamorans and the Zingarans who were hosted by the Hyrkanians in the eastern Europe became the Romani people after mixing their races. The Hyrkanians would return centuries later as Tartars, Huns, Turks, and Mongols.

The Hyborian Age / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History/Geography: Howard did not explain how some peoples living in Asia or Oceania would emerge. It has not been explained how Australian aborigines and New Zealand Maori came into being. It is questionable what happened to the Khitai, who were not involved in any conflict before the great cataclysm, but it is speculated that they gave rise to the Chinese, Korean and Japanese peoples. The Picts were one of the Celtic ethnic groups, as were the Gaels, Gauls and Bretons, while in the essay it says that the Picts are a separate ethnic group.
